SAVANT WHOLE HOME AUTOMATION FOR WHEN YOU’RE GOING AWAY

Fall and winter are huge times for travel. Whether you’re gathering the family for Thanksgiving or escaping the Victoria chill with a vacation down in sunny South Florida, you’ll want to keep an eye on your property while you’re away.

A smart home security system does just that. Not only can you stream real-time footage from your surveillance cameras, but you can also receive updates from integrated sensors strategically placed around your property.

Once a sensor detects unwanted movement, it will immediately alert you and arm your system. If the movement continues, your remote monitoring service can review the footage and notify the proper authorities if necessary. That way, you can trust your property is in good hands. At Insight AI, we are authorized dealers for Savant Home Automation Systems and in addition to having control over your lights, sound and theatre at the touch of a button, you can also check in on the security of your home.

SMART HOME PROGRAMMING FOR HOSTING A HOLIDAY PARTY

Increased foot traffic means more chaos in and around your home, especially if you’re hosting family from out of town.

Simplify a lot of the operations by integrating technology with a smart house control system. From your automated entry system to HD intercoms, you can welcome everyone – all while making sure the pot roast doesn’t burn!

HD intercoms allow you to communicate throughout your home, so you can answer the door via smartphone, tablet, or wall-mounted controller. Once you’ve confirmed their identity, a simple tap will unlock the entryway, allowing them to come in, even if you can’t make it to the door.

Plus, smart access control allows you to issue unique, temporary codes to friends and family. That way, trusted visitors can enter your home while you’re out. Not only will you receive a notification once they enter, but you’ll also have a record of who it was that came in.
